NEWMETHOD CHDOSINt FAB BDARDMEMBERS A long standing' method of electing directors o f the Greene County Agri­ cultural Society, sponsor of the an­ nual Greene County Fair, is to be discarded, it was learned Wednesday- Under a new mandatory ruling of the state department o f agriculture candidates fo r membership on the fair board will no lvnger be limited to residents o f townships in which va­ cancies occur. Formerly, in order to guarantee the fairest possible representation on the thirteen-member board, directors of the society selected one or more rival candidates each year to run against incumbent members Whose terms ex­ pired, the selections being made in the same township, But under the new method* candi­ dates will no longer be governed by their place o f residence. The only re­ quirement made of a candidate is that he or she file with the secretary of the board, at least three days in ad­ vance of the annual election, a nom­ inating petition signed by five or more individuals who held member­ ship in the Society the previous year. Six vacancies will occur on the board this year’ and an election will take place on Thursday and Friday of the 1934 county fair, the board announces. Family tickets constitute membership in the Society, and only holders' of 1934 tickets will be eligible to vote for candidates. Candidates for three-year terms on the 'board must file their petitions with Secretary J. Robert Bryson not later than 8 a. m. Monday, July 30. Director^ whose terms expire this .year are: J. E.
